A specific word used in my community is the word corey. I am not sure if this is the way you spell it but it’s a word that is used when you don’t complete something you’re supposed to do in one shot. I am not sure how this word came from, but, it is a word that means a lot to me now because my father used to tell me that as a kid which I find kind of funny now, but not at the time. This word has a huge meaning to me while growing up. Ever since my dad passed away, and I’m at work or doing something at home, I always think about that word which in a way motivates me to complete what I have to do.

This has been a word also used with a lot of my family members because if we had homework over the weekend, we would have to complete all of it in one day and not spread it out throughout the week. It was a good way of just making sure we were able to stay on track and in a way, make sure we are not slacking off or becoming lazy by spreading small tasks that are not needed to be spread out into multiple days because obviously, not everything can take a day to complete. Also, this can be something like practicing a skill or something because you are most likely not going to become a professional in one day by doing it all day. It takes consistency, dedication, and hard work to master something. I think he just means that there should be no slacking off when you are trying to do something or complete something and that we should aim at trying to do something we should do, but we just internally find resistance in not wanting to complete something for some strange reason.

I will be choosing a word or phrase from a community I am a part of that other people should know about and give a reason for why they should be aware of that word or phrase. I will continue to explain why this word or phrase matters so much and while doing so, I will give you some information about the community. It should be like an insider word that people don’t really know much about, and also tell a story of how it was used and show why language matters.
